Rough idle / bucking on acceleration at start
Hey, I've been reading a bit and can't quite find the exact problem I'm having on here. So I figured I would make a post and hopefully someone here can help me out as there seems to be quite a few knowledgeable people here!
For quite some time now my 99 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 has started every time without fail but upon starting it starts normal and then after a few seconds will start putting loudly (almost like its backfiring but not that loud)....When I start my jeep and drive within the first few minutes of it being started the gas will not accept full acceleration...it will start to accelerate then put put put put rejecting fuel almost it seems (i can feel some sort of backfire or something happening it seems)....so then I must let off the gas and press it down again...acceleration...put put put shortly into the acceleration once again.....nothing, have to let off the gas and press back down repeatedly. This has been this way for some time and is gradually getting worse. I don't have a lot of money so I haven't even been able to get it looked at. I have saved now though and would like to see if I can get any ideas here first of what it could be.
Sorry if this is a bit of a ramble....
Cliffs:
Jeep starts fine but will put put / not accelerate continually until warmed up for a few minutes, after warming up it drives fine but is loud.

You may want to inspect your ignition coil for cracks. If okay, test it.
Requires a digital multimeter and removal of the coil. See procedure below.
Also, check the Oxygen Sensors heaters fuse in the PDC,
